China's valves are plagued by domestic opportunities and setbacks

During the economic crisis, the valve market in Asia continued to grow, while the market in Europe and the United States contracted. Some large publicly held valve companies have less market share in Asia. This led some analysts to underestimate the total amount of the world market. Sales growth of small Asian valve companies offset and exceeded the sales reduction of large international companies. The Asian market has benefited from China's package plan, especially in the area of ​​domestic water use.

China's valve industry chain is numerous, but it is not a valve-powerful country. On the whole, China has entered the ranks of the world's valve giants, but from the perspective of product quality, there is still a long gap between China and the country with strong valves. The low production concentration of the industry, the low R&D capability of high-end products and the low level of manufacturing technology in the valve industry still exist, and the deficit in import and export trade continues to expand.

The next few years will be the high-speed oscillation period of the valve industry. The direct result of this high-speed shock is the expansion of the polarization trend in the current cabinet brand camp. It is not expected that there will be so many valve companies that can really survive in the market in the next few years. However, this high-speed oscillation in the valve industry will bring huge opportunities. The result of the shock will make the market operation more rational.

Since last year, the road to localization of high-end valves has been “bumpy”. At present, the basic parts have become a shortcoming that restricts the development of China's manufacturing industry to high-end. During the 12th five-year period, the government will continue to increase the localization of high-end equipment components. Here we have selected several representative valves in key development industries mentioned in the “Implementation Plan” to conduct feasibility analysis of import substitution (eg petroleum, power stations, metallurgy, machinery, electronics, mining, chemicals, building materials, electricity, energy , sewage treatment, etc.). From the analysis we can see that the sub-industry valve import substitution is very different. The high-end valve needs more policy guidance and research support.

At present, the domestic valve production backbone enterprises have been able to design and manufacture various valves in accordance with international standards such as ISO International Standard, DIN German Standard, and AWWA American Standard. Some manufacturers' products have reached the international advanced level. Although the overall level of the New Year's valve industry has been greatly improved, but the quality is not yet stable, such as run, run, drip, leakage phenomenon often occurs in domestic valves. In addition, there is still a certain gap between China's valve supporting capabilities and developed countries.

As there is still a gap between China's domestic valve manufacturing industry and the international advanced level, many high-parameter, high-temperature, high-pressure, high-pound critical valves have always depended on imports. In order to promote the localization of valves, the State Council issued the "on the acceleration of the rejuvenation. After several opinions of the equipment manufacturing industry, the relevant national departments have successively made a series of major deployments according to the requirements of the country for major equipment localization, and are led by the National Development and Reform Commission. Together with China National Machinery Industry Association and the China General Machinery Industry Association, Deployed and formulated the valve localization program for major equipment in related fields, and coordinated with related departments several times, and now the localization of valves has formed a consensus in the domestic valve industry.

China's valve market has basically formed a state-owned, collective, joint venture, stocks and individual private co-exist. If an enterprise wants to develop steadily in the fierce market competition, it can start from several aspects.

1. Work hard to reduce production costs and focus on improving product performance and efficiency.

2, the development of high-grade products or the production of small batches of non-standard products.

3, through the valve product's international quality certification.

4, valve products should be environmentally friendly, energy-saving direction.

5. Based on the original valve type, expanding the production of other types and models of valves With the acceleration of the pace of the valve industry reorganization, the future industry will be the competition between valve product quality and safety and product brands, products to high-tech, high-parameter, Resistant to strong corrosion and high life cycle development, only through continuous technological innovation, development of new products, and technological transformation, can we gradually improve the level of product technology, to meet the domestic equipment support, and fully realize the localization of valves. China's valve manufacturing industry will certainly present a better development prospect under the huge demand environment.
